OUR STORY

Seth and Mary Beth live in Northern California and where we raised their family. We are passionate about Jesus and have dedicated their lives and ministry to Him.

We are ordained ministers through Dick Mills Ministries. Seth is also a Certified Life Coach and Mary Beth is a Registered Nurse with a minor in Bible and Intercultural Studies.

We are equippers who want to help the Body of Christ grow in relational intimacy with Jesus and knowledge and practical application of His word. We love the body and desire to see it grow in maturity and depth.

We serve locally, nationally, and internationally. Many of the leaders and ministries they serve are under-resourced and overworked. We serve them with deep, unconditional love and intentional relationship. They create a personalized plan to meet their specific needs.

Much of what we do takes place behind closed doors, where we foster a safe, confidential relationship with those we are ministering to. We've witnessed Jesus heal, refresh, and renew broken hearted people, restoring them back to wholeness.

BTBI is a support-based ministry that relies on donations to serve other ministries, leaders, and their families.


Seth and Mary Beth have four children, plus a bonus son:  Josh & Madison Sponsler & their daughters Liberty Joy and Ember Love, Josiah and Leemah Sponsler, Jonathan & Hannah, along with Isaac & Mesha Chacon and their son Malachi

Bending the Bow Int’l has served in Mexico, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Vanuatu, Philippines, 

Cambodia, Swaziland, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China, & Thailand.
